Rainier Downtown Olympia and Mt. Rainier The Evergreen State College | 1 This position represents an exceptional opportunity to lead a dynamic institution that holds an historically pivotal role in higher education. 2 | The Evergreen State College ABOUT THE EVERGREEN STATE COLLEGE Evergreen, a public liberal arts and sciences college, didn’t wait for a pandemic to rethink the college experience. Since 1971, the College has been making a life-changing education accessible to all types of learners and Washingtonians on a forested, 1,000-acre campus on the beautiful Puget Sound. Evergreen students include high numbers of veterans, people of color, returning adults, LGBTQ+, tribal members, low-income and first-generation students, and students with disabilities. They thrive in the College’s flexible, affordable study programs that build community and get them to marketable degrees, fast. With decades of demonstrable commitment to social justice, Evergreen helps Washingtonians with talent and potential, sometimes unrecognized by other colleges, break down barriers and achieve their goals. They graduate prepared to excel in high-demand jobs and forge their own futures in a world of shifting boundaries and unprecedented opportunities. Evergreen’s 45,000-plus alumni include the state’s lieutenant governor, many legislators, non-profit leaders, Academy-Award winners, leading entrepreneurs, two chiefs of staffs to Washington’s governors, globally successful artists, leading scientists, and local elected officials. This is a time of transformative change. It’s a time to think boldly and inventively about what today’s world demands and what students need to embrace its complexity. An Evergreen education inspires student leadership and engagement that often culminates in a powerful spirit of activism, citizenship, and local presence that students carry beyond graduation. With innovation in its DNA, Evergreen was built for times like these. Emphasizing a student-centered curriculum, the College is creating new areas of study that match growing student demand, and deepening support for student success. It is strengthening digital platforms for teaching and learning, and developing programs for sought-after certifications and credentials to help students achieve their career goals. At this pivotal moment in the nation and in Evergreen’s history, the College is looking for its next president. This individual will lead and collaborate in the essential work to keep Evergreen vital—now and in the years to come. The Evergreen State College | 3 Location Evergreen is in the Pacific Northwest, in Washington’s capital city of Olympia. The main campus is located on ancestral lands of the Medicine Creek Treaty Tribes. The 1,000-acre forested campus extends to the shores of Puget Sound, which is part of the Salish Sea and connected to the Pacific Ocean. The College is an easy distance between two national parks, two mountain ranges, and the major cities of Seattle and Portland. The campus forest is home to beautiful winding trails that lead to Evergreen’s own beach on the banks of Eld Inlet. Evergreen’s Tacoma campus is located 30 minutes north of Olympia, in the historically Black neighborhood of Hilltop. Evergreen’s Native Pathways Program (NPP) offers degree-earning learning opportunities at the Tacoma and Olympia campuses, as well as place-based programs on the Quinault Indian Nation in Taholah and at the Peninsula College Longhouse in Port Angeles. Degrees Evergreen offers three undergraduate and three master’s degrees: • Bachelor of Arts • Bachelor of Science • Bachelor of Arts & Science • Master of Environmental Studies • Master of Public Administration » With concentrations in tribal governance, public policy, and public and nonprofit administration • Master in Teaching Each student has a tremendous amount of flexibility on the path to their degree, making Evergreen a top choice for independent learners who thrive in an open academic environment. 4 | The Evergreen State College Teaching and Learning Since opening its doors, Evergreen has established a national reputation for team-taught, thematic learning communities. Serving a population of significant diversity that belies its size, the College maintains an exceptional interdisciplinary curriculum through: • a student-centered approach to teaching and learning • an encouraging culture where students take initiative • narrative evaluations of student work instead of grades • no faculty rank or disciplinary departments • academic deans who rotate from and return to the faculty At the forefront of innovation in higher education, Evergreen emphasizes collaborative, interdisciplinary learning across significant differences. Its academic community is built from the ground up to help students define and think critically about their learning while contributing to social justice, equity, environmental stewardship, and service in the public interest. Evergreen ties with California Polytechnical Institute as the most innovative regional university in the West, according to the 2021 U.S. News and World Report rankings and the second-best master’s-granting university in the country according to the 2020 Washington Monthly rankings. These accolades are based on curriculum, quality of faculty, students, campus life, technology, and facilities, and on the College’s commitment to social mobility, research, and civic engagement. Evergreen hopes to inspire within students a sense of responsibility and passion for global and local issues that they will carry throughout their lives. In its strategic planning, the College has particularly intensified its focus on two longstanding, broad concerns: diversity and sustainability. Addressing these issues in a collaborative and dynamic manner is paramount to Evergreen’s efforts at creating a better world. The Evergreen State College | 5 Strategic Goals Goals as articulated in the College’s 2020-2023 strategic plan are to: • Achieve unprecedented levels of student academic success and personal development in a manner responsive to students’ unique career goals, talents, identities, and diverse perspectives • Significantly expand support for the local community, region, state, and nation during an unprecedented period of social and economic turbulence • Become a much stronger, more resilient, and adaptive College by expanding capacities to serve a much wider range of students and achieve a vision of contributing fully to the larger society Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Evergreen believes significant differences among students, faculty, and staff can bring profound benefits to the learning community that strengthen bonds and increase resolve to face challenges together. A focus on the power of mutual learning extends far beyond the classroom. Evergreen applies lessons of allyship and solidarity in the real world through hands-on curriculum and other opportunities. The College strives to identify and eliminate barriers that have prevented full participation by historically-underserved and underrepresented groups. As Evergreen seeks to bring traditionally excluded people into higher education, it also promotes equal access to opportunities and resources to better prepare each person for a satisfying future. 6 | The Evergreen State College The Evergreen State College | 7 Students Evergreen’s students are curious, thoughtful, engaged, and

  • The Evergreen State College
    EducationUSA Canada Spotlights The Evergreen State College In Olympia, Washington While most colleges teach things in the same ways, Evergreen stands apart. Imagine studying art, science, history, writing and sociology in one integrated program, focused on a central theme. Evergreen students typically take just one 16-credit, team-taught interdisciplinary program per quarter (instead of four or five disconnected classes), studying with the same students and faculty for up to a year. In these programs, homework and tests for one subject don’t compete for one another, and you don’t have to miss other classes to take field trips, work at an internship, or study abroad. Faculty give feedback in a narrative evaluation instead of reducing a student’s hard work down to a letter grade. The focus is on learning and collaboration—often in small seminar groups—not competition for grades. Evergreen doesn’t limit options with formal majors. As students work toward their four-year bachelor’s degree, they can tailor their education to meet their own needs. They can explore more than 60 areas of interest, and all earned credits count towards graduation. Students can also create customized learning opportunities. Evergreen is both a nationally-acclaimed public liberal arts college and a Fiske Guide “best buy.” The total cost of attendance for non-resident students is less than the tuition alone at many private institutions. Evergreen is located in Olympia, the capital of Washington state. The school’s 1,000-acre forested campus has a beach on Puget Sound, miles of trails, an organic farm, a Native American longhouse, and easy access to Olympia’s vibrant downtown.
